minus-squarescottywh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down4·1 year agoThat in no way contradicts anything I said. The person I was replying to never said they were exempt from minimum wage… They said what they misremembered the minimum wage to have been.
minus-squareCatoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down3·1 year agoMy point is they may have been remembering the minimum as it was relevant to the work they did at the time, not necessarily the federal minimum.
minus-squarescottywh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down5·1 year agoIt is illegal for a company in any state to pay lower than federal minimum wage regardless whether or not the state’s minimum wage is set lower. Full stop.
minus-squareCatoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down3·1 year agoJobs that are considered exempt from federal minimum wage can still have a different set state exempt minimum wage that is higher than the mandated exempt federal wage. For example, say the exempt wage is $2.75, a state can mandate $3.00 instead.
